A 25ª edição do Sundance Film Festival começou ontem, 15 de Janeiro, e prolonga-se até 25 deste mês. O Festival Sundance de Cinema começou em 1978, como U.S. Film Festival. Mas em 1985, o Sundance Institute, fundado anos antes por Robert Redford com o intuito de ajudar novos cineastas, incorpora o festival entre os seus programas, dirigindo o evento para as produções independentes. Hoje, o Sundance é o maior festival de filmes independentes dos Estados Unidos da América. Os principais prémios recaem para o melhor filme e o de melhor documentário.

Trailer do filme «La mujer del anarquista» que será um dos 200 filmes a serem apresentados no certame deste ano
Sinopse:
In a story spanning several decades, The Anarchist’s Wife depicts the way the marriage between an idealistic young activist and his glamorous wife is dominated by shifting political powers during the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Justo’s (Juan Diego Botto) political activism separates the couple for years as he goes into hiding and is ultimately deported to a concentration camp, but Manuela (Maria Valverde) steadfastly clings to as much of their old lives as possible in rapidly deteriorating circumstances, raising their children and facing multiple tragedies on her own. After the war, Manuela uproots her life to rush to Justo’s side, only to find that she must again share him with a cause.In this historical drama that incorporates archival footage, a rich score, and memorable visuals to carefully evoke Spain in the 1930s and ’40s, husband-and-wife filmmakers Peter Sehr and Marie Noelle employ impressive historical detail in this story of a single family that finds that unyielding devotion does not come without a price. The film celebrates the couple’s single-minded loyalties— Manuela to her husband and Justo to his beliefs—but also depicts the negative repercussions, especially on the couple’s headstrong young daughter, Paloma (Ivana Baquero). Told through Paloma’s point of view, the story of her parents’ undying love and political commitment is at once wholly romantic and somewhat bittersweet.
